Man cave!

darn good enough for a work bench!

Yeah , looks good . That will make a nice bench . Nice drill press too . They're so handy .
This is messy , but it works for wide stuff . 1 1/2 PVC . A couple test plugs and some rolls of sandpaper . Spray glue the paper on the PVC .

Use the test plugs in the ends , one with a long bolt and one with a short bolt .
I have a wood handle that goes on the short side .



Long side chucks up in a drill . I had one that was 3 ' wide . Blank handle
on the short side so you can hold it .

That was before I bought this . 16/32 overhead drum sander .

Lol! Yup. I made a few of those before. But with the short/narrow surface contact. I could never get a smooth surface, More like a pond with a light breeze!. Now the drum sander is something I looked at before. Now that I have room. Maybe that. Or a planner will happen.

That drum sander is one of the best things I bought . Wanted the 19/38 but didn't want to wait . Use it way more than the planer . Planer works good for cleaning up boards to size . The stuff I buy is rough sawn . No finished edges .

It's nice to have a setup that you can walk into and fix or build something .

Very nice Steve. And great setups to @civilsmoker and Rich. You Guys are way more skilled than me, lol. Steve, can't wait to see the finished product.

A bit more progress. The table is still a work in progress. Need to put the bottom shelf on. Then finish sand and finish. The top for the drill press table is leaning against the wall. Put a shelf in for organization.

Thanks!!

Almost done for this year. Still need to finish the floor trim. And next year I'll do the ceiling. I kept the trim simple for a rustic look.

I used knot tight paint grade pine to keep the cost down. The price of wood is stupid!

Sure is a nice hideout Steve and will be enjoyed for many years to come!

Looking great, Steve!! I have a little construction project of my own underway, but nothing like yours, just a little envious over here...

 

[Winterrider]

Looks like a great place to hang out and tinker around .

 

[Steve H]

I bought stands for the miter saw and drill press. I'll move the drill press to the other side of the wall.
